Survivors

Objectives

As a Survivor, your main objective is to escape the level through one of two metal gates. To be able to escape, Survivors must repair generators. These generators are scattered across the level. To be able to open the gate, a minimum of five generators must be repaired. This in turn activates the gates and Survivors can now open a gate and escape.

The Meat Hooks

The Killer’s primary objective is to knock Survivors to the ground and carry them to Meathooks in the levels to sacrifice them. If a Survivor is sacrificed they are out of the game and will return to the lobby.

Skill Check

The Skill Shot is a crucial part of repairing generators, healing and sabotaging. A form of Quick-Time-Event, where you need to be fast and precise. A Skill Shot is a way of speeding up repairs, but if you fail, the generator will break, and you will be set back.

The Survivors

Teachable Perks

Eventually a Survivor will be able to master the perks they have collected from the Bloodweb and teach their unique Survivor perks to other Survivors or Killers.

But to run now might attract those beings that crave the pain of others. But as she runs from something, instead of towards it, she understands something.

william "Bill" Overbeck

Character Bio

After decades spent drifting aimlessly through dead end jobs, Bill went in for a routine surgery and woke up to find the world he knew was gone. A plague was turning normal people into mindless killing machines. Naturally, the first thing he did was fight his way home and put on his uniform. Making his way through rural ghost towns and pitch-black forests, he found other survivors, and together they fled from the infected hordes.

Feng Min凤敏

Character Bio

Feng Min was a young girl when she first picked up computer games, and she was instantly hooked. The brand new worlds enchanted her with colors, sounds and explosions – a chance to be somewhere else, or someone else. Her parents saw no wrong with a few minutes in front of the screen, but as minutes turned into hours and sometimes days, they finally decided to pull the plug and force Feng Min to put more efforts into her studies.

She felt smothered by parents who refused to see the potential of a future in games, so she left home and spent her time in internet cafés and LAN parties where the old rules didn’t apply. She spent hours playing, streaming, competing to rise to the top. Her parents became what she called “holiday parents” as she never saw them outside the holidays, and she became the black sheep of a one-child-family. In the gaming world, however, she finally found respect. Nicknamed the “Shining Lion,” she was invited to join a prestigious e-sports team and to live in their dorms, where she found a sanctuary free of the misconceptions and prejudice she had felt from her parents and the non-gaming world.

Feng Min pushed her limits to prove she was the best. Sleep was less important to her than training. At the top of her game, she filled stadiums with fans who adored her. But it couldn’t last forever; The pressure to be the best grew stronger and stronger. She pushed herself too far, slept too little, and her performance began to slip. She started to lose. At night, she would stay up, tormented by the thought of disappointing her parents… and her fans.

She spiraled out of control and fell into a pattern of self-destruction. She started wandering the streets and visiting bars, where no one knew of e-sports, waking up in places she didn’t remember. One day she woke up somewhere completely different… in a never-ending nightmare. Feng Min did not despair – as she learned more about the challenge she was up against, she realized this was what she had been training for her entire life. Now, she was going to win.

David King

Character Bio

The single child of a wealthy family, David King seemed destined for greatness. While growing up in Manchester, he demonstrated serious potential in both sports and academics, and with his family connections, all doors were open to him. He could have succeeded at anything, if it weren't for his combative nature. David lived for the adrenaline rush of a good fight and would go out of his way to get into one.

His robustness and athletic abilities led him to rugby, where he could cut loose and really cause a ruckus. King excelled and gained a reputation as a promising, if somewhat reckless, rookie. His meteoric rise came to an abrupt end when he lost his temper and assaulted a referee, earning himself a lifetime ban from the league and cutting short what most people assumed was going to be a long, successful career. King was unconcerned; money was no issue, so he took it as an early retirement and focused on other fun things to do.

Free from the constraints of a career and enabled by the wealth of his family, David King spent most of his time at the pub, drinking, watching games, and getting into fights. Some might say he was wasting his life away. Not many people knew that he was an occasional "debt collector" or that he fought in clandestine bare-knuckle fight clubs.

When David King stopped showing up at the pub, the few friends he still had were not surprised. They figured he had finally picked a fight with someone stronger than he was. In a way, they were right.

Perks

David King’s perks are a result of his years playing rugby and stems from his strong physique and his need for adrenaline. But being fast isn’t everything, he’s - sometimes - also a teamplayer. But that side is seldom seen.

Dead Hard

You can take a serious beating. When injured, tap into your adrenaline bank and dash forward quickly to avoid damage. Causes exhaustion.

"We were walkin’ through t’ginnel one night when a beer bottle flew past me, then another, and another. I thought to myself, “Gonna ’ave some fun ‘ere lads, let’s get stuck in!’". It were a right dust up, I swear down! " -David King

We’re gonna live forever

Your few friends deserve the best protection. Start with a penalty to altruism points gain. Each time you rescue or take a hit to protect a survivor, gain a stackable bonus to all Bloodpoint gains.

"Come on then, let’s ‘ave it! I don’t give a shit pal." -David King

No Mither

"I lost it. Just lamped him one.. They went and banned me didn’t they.. Went t’pub afterwards, had a few pints and moved on to the next chapter. I couldn’t be mithered with it all anyway, you know what I mean? Can’t be arsed." -David King
